On a sunny, warm Saturday afternoon, Belfast Harlequins hosted Dromore, in a preseason friendly, played over 3 periods, at Deramore Park.

Both teams were willing to throw the ball around, from kick off. Luke McGarrity found himself, in space, out on the right, before dotting down, on 9 minutes. Johnny McCracken’s conversion made it 7-0 to Quins. A Jack Stinson try, after 20 minutes, moved Quins out to 12-0.

Dromore replied after 24 minutes, through a Ross Stewart try, on the right, converted by Adam McDonald, to leave Dromore trailing 7-12, at the end of the 1st period.
